__Come Unto the Tree__

Should ever sorrow claim thee, Or wild things would hound thee, Quickly come and find me And refuge in I, a tree.

Come find me in the Spring, And all your troubles bring. Hide within my green, And of your sorrow sing.

Should you need a kind word, Listen as my leaves are stirred. But I’ll not be deterred If you prefer only to be heard.

And if you’re in a funk, And think the world is bunk Come beat against my trunk Until your anger has sunk

Do not think that my safety Is ever in true jeopardy For angry as you may be, You will not break this tree.

If the Summer makes you sweat With a feeling of fear and fret, Climb in me, high above the threat, And we shall defeat it yet.

I’ll keep the danger at bay, For all night and through the day. On my branches safe you’ll stay Until the hazard goes away.

Or if you need a place to rest Cuz the heat is too much of a test, You can always be my guest ‘Til you go back to your quest.

But if you wish to stay with me, So happy will I be! Just remember you are free Whenever you wish to leave this tree.

Come see me in the Fall, And we’ll have such a ball! Though my leaves, gone are all, I swear I’ll still stand tall.

While my leaves gather on the ground, And create in a giant mound Do not think I can’t be found If ever you’re around.

For though cold breeze may nip the air And my limps are quite bare Stand against me where I’ll shield you with tender care

For no matter what happens to me, In this place I’ll always be! What I have I’ll give to thee And hope enough it’ll be.

So when Winter throws it snow, And frigid winds do blow, When you’ve nowhere left to go, Here’s a secret that I know.

When you came to me at the start, Something happened of a magical art And you put a home into my heart. There, I’ll keep you til you depart.

Together we’ll weather any storm, And I’ll fight to keep you warm. Though I might lose some of my form, One day, I’ll return to my norm.

So no matter what sights you see, If ever you feel the need to flee There will always be a place for thee So come unto the tree.
